Xiao Chen was rather interested in the mysterious little fellow in the egg. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Sense could not penetrate too deeply into it. The space within the egg seemed to be a world of its own, boundlessly vast.
Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring and sized up this mysterious egg. However, she could not make heads or tails of it. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have seen many powerful and noble Spirit Beasts. However, I really do not know a Spirit Beast of this color with a blazing light and an extremely berserk aura.
"I know several strong fire-attributed Spirit Beasts. However, none of them match. If I am not wrong, it should be a Holy Beast from the Immortal Epoch."
Holy Beast?
There really is such a mythical creature? Xiao Chen looked at Ao Jiao suspiciously.
Ao Jiao nodded seriously and said, "There definitely is. When the Martial Epoch was just born, there were people who frequently saw Holy Beasts near Kunlun Mountain. There were even people who captured Holy Beasts.
"According to rumor, the ancestors of the four Holy Lands of the human race sealed these Holy Beasts and established their Bloodline Totems. Only then could the Holy Beast Martial Spirit be passed down to the later generations.
"Although the rumor might be false and outsiders do not know what is going on, it definitely has something to do with Holy Beasts. Otherwise, why would only your four Holy Lands have Holy Beast Martial Spirits out of all the cultivators of the human race? "
It looked like the Immortal Epoch's Holy Beast might really be in this egg. However, it did not look like it showed any signs of breaking out of its shell.
Suddenly, Ao Jiao said, "I remember now. This is a Golden Crow egg. It is as white as jade and as smooth as a wall. There is a boundless sea of fire surging with intense flames. The one inside is the legendary Golden Crow."
Xiao Chen's expression changed. He could not help but feel excited. The Golden Crow was a famous Holy Beast of the Immortal Epoch.
The Golden Crow was a pure Yang Holy Bird, also known as the Scarlet Crow or the Sun Bird. Its body contained the supreme overlord Solar True Flame. When it matured, its light would be like the blazing sun, able to illuminate the entire world.
It was the Golden Crow that competed with the sun.
However, Ao Jiao's next words dampened Xiao Chen's hopes. She said, "It is very difficult to hatch this Golden Crow Egg. Even after the Sky Dome Immortal Lord died, he could not hatch it. You can imagine how difficult it is."
"That's not all. Young Golden Crows don't have much fighting power. Even if they hatch, they won't be able to help you much. It's not much, but it's of great benefit to the sect, and it can be passed down to future generations. "
Xiao Chen's excitement was immediately suppressed by Ao Jiao. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Tell me, what conditions are needed for it to hatch?"
Ao Jiao scrutinized the Golden Crow Egg. After a while, she said, "Looking at the Golden Crow Egg, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth has almost been absorbed. Now, all it lacks is the Origin Source of the Solar True Fire."
"Where can I find the Solar True Fire's Origin Flame?"
Ao Jiao pointed to the blazing sun above and said, "The deepest part of the blazing sun of the Kunlun Realm is the Solar True Fire's Origin Flame. The Solar True Fire of the Sky Dome Realm is just a portion that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord plundered from the blazing sun. "
Speechless, Xiao Chen carefully put away the Golden Crow Egg. For now, he no longer had any thoughts about this. He did not think that he had lived too long and wanted to run into the blazing sun.
Before he got close, he would probably be roasted until not even a drop of blood remained. At the very least, he would have to cultivate the Golden Body of Emperor Wu before he could obtain some of the Solar True Fire.
As for the Origin Flame in the deepest part of the Universe Ring, Xiao Chen thought that only a Sovereign Martial Emperor would dare to enter it carefully.
After putting away the Golden Crow Egg, Xiao Chen started fiddling with the Longevity Fruits in his Universe Ring. His gains in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm were pretty good. The nineteen Longevity Fruits could bring out their value in the Kunlun Realm.
That place did not lack old monsters nearing the end of their lifespans. All of them had lived for several hundred years. They would definitely be quite wealthy. Any one of these Longevity Fruits, which could increase one's lifespan by a hundred years, could fetch a sky-high price.
There were also a few Longevity Tree branches that were pretty good. He had been lacking a good medium for the Life Bestowal Spell. The branches of a King Grade Spirit Tree were definitely sufficient.
There were also the Spirit Cores of several ferocious beasts. After removing the impurities, they contained Immortal Qi and were barely enough to cultivate for a while.
After tidying things up, another Dragon Pearl appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. He had been in the Sky Dome Realm for more than two months already. His cultivation had not improved much, but he had obtained a lot of things.
This Frost Flood Dragon's Dragon Pearl was definitely the most useful. Even though he did not cultivate Ice Quintessence, it was sufficient for killing enemies.
If he detonated the energy contained in this Dragon Pearl, even a grandmaster-level Martial Sage would be severely injured.
Coincidentally, he had three Star Breaker Arrows for sneak attacks and this Dragon Pearl for frontal attacks. Given this, if he ran into a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, he would have a trump card to deal with.
After using the Spirit Cores of the ferocious beasts to cultivate for the entire morning, Xiao Chen returned to Qingyun Peak. Then, he accompanied Liu Ruyue and wandered around the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
They looked at the mountains and rivers, the flowers and grass, far away from the intense, dangerous, and hostile Kunlun Realm. Even the word 'happy' was insufficient to describe such peaceful days.
The days passed leisurely like this. Aside from the necessary cultivation, Xiao Chen spent most of his time on Qingyun Peak with Liu Ruyue.
Sometimes, when Liu Suifeng frustrated Xiao Chen, he would go to the drill ground and teach some things about Saber Techniques to the group of girls.
The leisurely time always passed very quickly. When one was immersed in it, they even forgot about the passage of time.
However, what would come would come. On a certain day two months later, Xiao Chen touched the bottleneck of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's seventh layer. Xiao Chen circulated his energy slightly, and the sky changed color. Thunderclouds pressed down, and strong winds howled. So, he quickly stopped cultivating.
It was not that Xiao Chen was afraid of the tribulation. It was that he could not choose the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Qingyun Peak to undergo the tribulation.
Xiao Chen did not explain it to Liu Ruyue. He only said a few words to Liu Suifeng before quietly leaving alone.
While in midair, Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked at this towering Qingyun Peak. This place held too many memories, too many entanglements.
I can't get enough of it!
"Ao Jiao, I will come back alive, right?"
"You have to. Even if you want to die, I will not let you die." Ao Jiao had a ferocious expression as she said, "You even promised me to take revenge for the Thunder King. You are not allowed to die, and you will not die."
--- At Qingyun Peak, where Xiao Chen and Liu Suifeng had parted ways, Liu Ruyue slowly descended from the sky. She looked at Xiao Chen, who had already become a small black dot in the sky, in a daze.
"Sis, you already knew from Senior Leng why he left. Why didn't you come out and say one last thing to him? His parting this time was a narrow escape from death.
It was very sad, "Liu Suifeng said helplessly as he looked at Liu Ruyue.
Liu Ruyue smiled and said, "He did not want me to know. In that case, I will not know. As long as my heart is not in a mess, his heart will not be in a mess, either."
…
In the sky, Ao Jiao looked at the path Xiao Chen took. She said, "Where are we going now? Since he is undergoing the tribulation, we have to find an absolutely quiet place."
"Let's go to Mohe City first. After I take one more look, I will have no regrets."
Xiao Chen had already decided on the location of his tribulation long ago. However, before that, he had to make a trip to Mohe City and watch the people of his clan from afar.
Tearing through space, Xiao Chen moved through the air like a meteor chasing the moon. Soon, the familiar silhouette of Mohe City entered his vision.
After emerging from the void, Xiao Chen's figure wavered and arrived in the sky above Seven Horn Mountain. From here, he could see everything in the Xiao Residence, big or small.
Now, the Xiao Residence had more than doubled in size. Seven Horn Mountain was filled with cultivators wearing the Xiao Clan's uniform, undergoing experiential training.
At the foot of the mountain, the originally simple and crude campsite had been rebuilt into a majestic one. There were elite Xiao Clan disciples guarding this place, keeping an eye on the other cultivators who were not from the Xiao Clan.
Everything was in order, showing signs of prosperity. Xiao Chen could vaguely sense that there was a great fortune enveloping the Xiao clan.
Luck was ethereal and formless, but it truly existed. The Xiao Clan's current Luck was brought by Xiao Chen.
Be it obtaining the first rank in the Five Nation Youth Competition, infusing the Luck of the entire Sky Dome Realm into him, he would not be able to do so. Furthermore, after absorbing the essence of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, Xiao Chen's Luck had reached a startling level.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and relaxed a lot. With the current situation, in addition to the Secret Treasures, Spirit Stones, and Secret Manuals that he had gotten Xiao Jian and Xiao Yulan to bring back.
Given the Xiao Clan's strength, it would be hard for it not to develop. In the future, when Xiao Chen became a Martial Emperor and collected the Blue Dragon Palace and reestablished the Dragon's Gate, these fellow clansmen would be the best foundation.
After taking a few more glances, Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze. This time, returning to the Sky Dome Realm, regardless of whether he succeeded in clearing his tribulation or not, it was worth it.
There was no regret in his heart. There was no fear in his heart.
"Why are you acting so sneakily? Come out!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned. The purple Lightning Talisman in his sea of consciousness had four strands of golden light on it. One strand of golden light came out of Xiao Chen's fingertip and turned into a lightning-fast saber Qi. Then, it shot towards the seemingly empty space in front of him.
Space was like a piece of white paper. With this finger, it easily tore a pitch-black hole. Silently, the entire space suddenly shattered, not even leaving behind a shard.
Teng Xiao, the Dark Church's Church Master of the Sky Dome Realm, walked out of the pitch-black space. He wore black clothes and had a somewhat sinister expression on his face. He looked somewhat similar to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. The aura of this person was still fresh in his memory. This was the unique dark aura of the Dark Church's members. However, this person's dark aura was much denser.
Furthermore, there was an additional sinister aura. Teng Xiao caught that strand of golden saber Qi that could shatter space with his finger.
However, what shocked Xiao Chen the most was not this scene. Instead, it was this person's appearance. If Xiao Chen recalled correctly: The appearance of the person in the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber was shockingly similar to this person.
If not for the dense dark aura of this person and the unconcealable sinister aura on his face, Xiao Chen might have recognized the wrong person from the start.
In reality, this person did not even think about concealing this sinister aura. It was like he was born this way, unrestrained by the etiquette and benevolence of the world. He was wild and unrestrained, thinking that he was the greatest in the world.
